Beach Modern Getaways

What is it that gives these living spaces such character and an exotic island feel? Louvered windows and doors of course! Louvers are something that I have come to love. The more I see them, the more they evoke that faraway place of peace and rest. I think they are equally suited for modern or traditional design. In most of these rooms, if you took them out, the room would just be ho hum...
I put them at the top of the list of elements which help make a brillant beach-modern getaway.

Food and Fabrics

Nothing like getting into the summer feeling with a tropical drink and tropical colored
modern fabrics. I am trying to decide on a print to replace some drab beige linen on a couple of
wicker chairs I have in the living room. I would thoroughly enjoy kicking back and drinking one of these
fantastic refreshing drinks on one of Quadrille's beautiful contemporary cotton-linen prints in Tangerine or
Sunshine Yellow.

Would you like to join me?

Woodnotes

Who would think that paper could be so beautiful?
 Woodnotes, a company located in Finland,
designs and manufactures products inspired by paper yarns. Founded in 1987 by textile designer Ritva Puotila and her son(who still run the business today) create the colors and textures of goods that every beach house should wrap itself in............................. Check out their new line of rugs, called BEACH.. I love the blue and sand  together.

Cheers,
Toni

Ocean Photographs

If you are looking for beautiful photos to adorn walls in your office or home, look no further
than the fantastic selection by Onne van der Wal. His award-winning nautical photography is world renowned. Onne's library holds images from around the globe and features yachts, racing machines,
quiet harbors and secluded beaches, icebergs and wildlife. As a professional sailor early in life his love of the ocean and boats show vividly in his craft of photography. In the fast paced world of mass media, videos and motion pictures racing past our eyes, a mind set on a beautiful photograph is a welcome and relaxing indulgence.

Cheers to the weekend!

Summer Stripes

Stripes are everywhere this spring! I always know summer is coming when I see stripes in the marketplace. I miss them soooooo in the fall/ winter months. I love stripes because they are exact,
crisp and move me to a place in my mind of traveling by yacht, through the crisp clear ocean water
to a beautiful island getaway!  Get those stripes out of your closets....

Cheers,
Toni

A Spring 2012 trend is a love affair with the ocean. As seen in these designer collections

Love them all. You can never get enough of the ocean!
